Dier Makr

The 20 Best Restaurants in Hobart, Australia | Eater

"There’s an air of mystery around items on the blackboard menu at Dier Makr. A description like “pork, miso” doesn’t let much on, but you’ll have full faith in owners Kobi Ruzicka and Sarah Fitzsimmons once you taste the pork neck poached in yogurt, served with charred sugarloaf cabbage and miso sauce. The couple are part of the wave of chefs and hospitality workers who moved from the mainland in the last few years. While they only offer a tasting menu at Dier Makr, they do let guests choose their own wine from the walk-in cellar. If you can’t commit to a whole tasting menu, Ruzicka and Fitzsimmons also run wine bar Lucinda in the same building, where they offer a few dishes alongside minimal-intervention wines.
